The OpenChain Project is delighted to announce that we now have a draft of the OpenChain Specification 1.2 in Russian. This document was contributed by Denis Dorotenko at Yandex and it marks our first major activity to support the Russian market.
The OpenChain Project asks for all official translations of the OpenChain Specification to be peer-reviewed. To this end, today we are putting out a call for reviewers so we can change the status of our Russian document from “draft” to “release.”
Please note that this document – as with most of our documents – is stored and edited via GitHub. If you want to contribute to the translation but have no background in GitHub just contact us. Shane Coughlan, OpenChain General Manager, is happy to talk via email at coughlan [at] linux.com

The OpenChain Project is delighted to announce the release of four anonymous open source compliance case studies from Japan. These case studies mark the conclusion of our sequence of releases that saw information shared by Toyota, Hitachi, Sony and many more.
“The OpenChain Japan Work Group has provided strong leadership in developing and releasing knowledge around open source compliance,” says Shane Coughlan, OpenChain General Manager. “A great deal of this knowledge, available in both English and Japanese, is directly useful to companies considering the OpenChain standard, building open source program offices and simply working to get compliance right. After this fantastic run of case studies we look forward to next steps. Watch this space for more reference material, reports and contributions.”

The OpenChain Project is delighted to announce the release of a second set of tooling slides. These slides were contributed by Software Compliance Academy, one of our strategic partners in Germany, and build on our first release in May. As with all contributions to the OpenChain learning materials (curriculum and onboarding), these slides are published under the CC-0 license, effectively public domain.
“Reference material covering the real-world use of compliance tooling is a common request for companies all over the globe,” says Shane Coughlan, OpenChain General Manager. “Thanks to our partners in Germany we have been able to directly address this area. We look forward to seeing how people adopt these slides and to their feedback regarding future improvements. As always, everyone is welcome to use our materials, and everyone is welcome to be part of making them better.”
